OWNERSHIP OF DWELLINGS
Definition and scope
Ownership of dwellings consists of landlords and owner-occupiers of dwellings. Owner-occupiers are regarded as operating a business that generates a gross operating surplus. The imputation of a rent to owner-occupied dwellings enables the services provided by dwellings to their owner-occupiers to be treated consistently with the marketed services provided by rented dwellings to their tenants. Owner-occupiers are regarded as receiving rents (from themselves as consumers), paying expenses, and making a net contribution to the value of production which accrues to them as owners.
Summary of GSP(P) sources and methods
The methodology for Ownership of dwellings uses an output indicator approach to compile state by industry GVA estimates. Output volumes are derived using the HFCE volumes of rent. The state volume GVAs are benchmarked to the annual national industry volume GVA.
